These are the resolutions passed by the Council on Monday 24th July 2006 that were proposed by Cllr Andrew Simpson

Northampton Racecourse Park

This Council recognises Northampton Racecourse as one of the most important parks in the town.

Further this Council:

Acknowledges that recent occurrences of anti-social behaviour and crime on the park have led to concerns about the safety of the environment on the park.

Welcomes the initiative by the Chronicle & Echo in its ‘Reclaim the Racecourse’ campaign the recent summit held jointly with Friends of Northampton Racecourse.

Welcomes the ‘healthy living hub’ initiative as a possible way of levering funds and resources to create a new public facility on the park.

Notes that it passed policy in 2003 to draw up a rolling 5 year plan for the park and that this has not happened

This Council resolves to:

·        Work with all stakeholders and partners to draw up a masterplan for the park.

·        Support the idea of the healthy living hub to seek funding for plans to improve the park and develop new public facilities

·        Set up a Racecourse Action Team headed by a NBC manager that draws together all NBC stakeholders and external partners.

·        Actively seek external funding opportunities for improvements to the park

Proposed: Cllr Andrew Simpson
